Parkfield & Oxbridge

Louise and Javed working hard for you in Parkfield and Oxbridge

Dear Residents

It has been our privilege to represent the whole of our community as your local councillors.

These are difficult days for us all as we’ve seen Conservative Government cuts severely damage local services, and residents have seen household bills go up while their pay stays the same. There are fewer council staff cleaning our streets and gardening in our parks, and we have lost 500 police officers in Cleveland too.

However that doesn’t mean we should give in to despair and simply give up fighting for the things that matter. We’ve listened hard and will continue to focus on your priorities; safety, crime and anti-social behaviour, clean streets and alleys, making sure there is plenty for young people to do, keeping our parks green and lovely, tackling speeding traffic, getting our new estates adopted and tackling rogue landlords.

We are keen to push on with improvement for our area, so if you want to support us in that battle, please vote Labour and Co-operative, we can’t do it without you.

Very best wishes,

Louise Baldock and Mohammed Javed

Our Pledges

To be accessible to all constituents, taking up casework with regular advice surgeries, home visits where necessary, contactable by letter, phone, email, text and on social media platforms.

To identify your local ward priorities through residents’ surveys, weekly door-knocks (we visit every house at least twice a year) and with regular attendance at our three Residents Association meetings, visiting local shops and businesses, and at our many places of worship.

To fight for those priorities as hard as we can, so that the people with the power to bring about change will understand your concerns and take your issues seriously, through us.

To focus on safety, crime and ASB, street cleanliness, making sure there is plenty for young people to do, green parks, speeding traffic, getting our new estates adopted and tackling rogue landlords.

Continue to be strong advocates for Parkfield and Oxbridge and its residents

Louise Baldock

Louise Baldock lives in Oxbridge, close to Ropner Park which she believes is the jewel in Stockton’s crown.

A councillor in Parkfield and Oxbridge since winning her seat in November 2017 in a local byelection, Louise believes it is important to be accessible to residents. To stay properly in touch she attends several residents meetings each month, holds regular advice surgeries and knocks on at least one hundred doors every Saturday afternoon, with the local Labour team.

She has also joined lots of Stockton social media groups so she can see what issues people are raising, and work in partnership to tackle them.

Louise is Vice-Chair of a council scrutiny committee and runs her own successful family history business.
